[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 663082, member: 18958"] Hi Wiped Out How concerning and painful. You know how to do this detachment parenting better than I do, so I know you do not need advice from me. That said, this is what I think. Your husband gave SON a warning that stealing is a crime now that he is adult. I would lock up all of the money, your purse, etc. If he steals again, whatever the amount, I would call the police. Do you know why he took the money? Is it for something that you need to worry about? I think the consequences are worse for him if you overlook another transgression, than whatever consequence there would be by calling the police. It is not only teaching him right and wrong. It is about insisting that he treat you and his father with respect and care. That relationships with loved ones need to be reciprocal. You are worthy of care, as much as is he. I am sorry this happened. Take care. [/QUOTE]
